Why is the conversion from dyne meter to dyne centimeter important?

It allows expressing torque values at smaller length scales, facilitating calculations in the CGS system and enabling comparison with legacy data or literature.

What is the exact conversion rate between dyne meter and dyne centimeter?

1 dyne meter equals 100 dyne centimeters, reflecting the difference in length units used in torque measurement.

Can dyne meter and dyne centimeter be used interchangeably in all torque calculations?

No. Because dyne meter mixes a CGS force unit with an SI length and dyne centimeter is fully CGS-based, careful unit consistency is necessary in calculations.
